No. This is simply false. Already in two cases, courts have ruled this is unconstitutional (Majorie Taylor Greene in GA, Madison Cawthorne in NC). A third case in NM was successfull only because the congressional candidate was way low on funds and didn’t appeal.
I’ve been over this and over this. The 14th ONLY refers to the Civil War as courts have repeatedly ruled and is clear by the language; it DOES NOT specifically include the President for a reason, as he cannot be guilty of secession against his own country; and because Jeff Davis was NOT recognized as a President; therefore the wording does not include “President.”
Already the DemoKKkrat Hobbit in AZ was told that this was unconstitutional and she couldn’t do it.

Anybody relying on the 14th Amendment to defeat Trump in 2024, is depending on a pretty weak or broken reed.
These articles are for the “walls are closing in” on Trump crowd, in other words it’s “boob bait” for Trump haters.
The problem as I see it (and hasn't been mentioned by others) is that they don't need the 14th amendment; there is also 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection:
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.Someone first needs to indict someone for insurrection under this federal code, not the 14th amendment.
